Dapper windscreen cleaner spotted in Abeokuta, Ogun State (pics)

Photographer, Daniel Sync, met a dapper windscreen cleaner in Abeokuta and shared his experience.
He wrote; (see more photos after the cut...)
"So, I bumped into this well suited windscreen cleaner yesterday in Ogun State. We need more innovative citizens like Abdulahi in Nigeria. Well spoken Abdulahi Olatoyan who is in his early thirties is a University of Ilorin dropout, who turned to the street after the demise of his father to make a living and save enough money to start a business.
He hopes to return to school to finish his studies one day. Photographing and speaking with Abdulahi today inspired me and i do hope that you are inspired by his story too. If you're trying to achieve, there will be roadblocks. I've had them; everybody has had them. But obstacles don't have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don't turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it.”

Aww, may the Almighty elevate his hustle to a greater height.
Dignity in labour.

God bless you bro. To all those hiding under anonymous to beg and ask Linda for give away.. Please, get busy.. If a full grown man can get to his heels and get busy, you can do it too..
Let's stop the culture of asking for MB, HND form, Giveaway et al. Let's do these things ourselves.
Once again, God bless this young man's labour.

I can see determination on his face. Dear LIB readers and fellow Nigerians, let's do something about this young man's story, that other youths will turn away from vices and know that truly, their is dignity in labour.

Only in APC's regime. All Promises Cancelled (APC). We dont need more innovations like this, we need jobs for the teeming unemployed.

So this is the most creative and resourceful thing that his university brain can produce? For a man of his age it shows how demented Nigerians have become. We not only lack creative capacity we make ourselves extra cheap and shameless. The lower a people's cutoff point the lower the quality of their life. Our collective national standard is too low that is why we take just any rubbish and junk from even our leaders. This is not inspiring at all to the uneducated ones. It is cheap and mean. Even the quality of his suit makes nonsense of his effort to show dignity of dress. Dismissed!!! Best of luck to his low brain anyhow.

Unknown said...

Ooooooh...,av missed this Broz...,he's an humble someone,an alfa indeed....we've missed him in Ilorin due to the traffic light that had stop working@unity junction,Ilorin kwara state...I love this guy,coz in my very presence some car owner do normally shout on him,that no no no,that he should not clean or wipe their car mirror,stuff like that,even some will still even mocked him,but he will nt even ulter a word...,even after he had clean or wiped mirror for people he will nt even wait or ask you for a dimmed,it's only if you call him and give hIm money that he's gonna come before you leave the traffic...,pls extend my greetings to him,tell him from olamide tech.,(0813643688...)because he do normally come and relax in my shop @unity junction.

@Godwin Ugee thank u for your wonderful comment. Some Nigerians just love to beg. They are perpertual beggers. They are not handicapped but they just want free money. They dont want to work or do menial jobs. They have forgotten that God blesses humble beginnings. I saw a lady the other day begging me for money on the street. So i told her that she is not handicapped, why then is she joining handicaps to beg for money? I told her to come to my house and wash clothes for me let me pay her and dash her a lot of things that she will appreciate more than the small money i will give to her on the road. Do u know that this woman refused. She said she doesnt want to work. She said she prefers to just beg. So i drove off my car and told her that i am not giving her any money for free. Nigerians brace up and work and stop being lazy beggers!!!

There is what we call Charity home where clothes we sold are a very cheap rate and they are really nice clothes. The look doesn't justify the pocket. He deserve a good hand to attain heights and unlock more potentials. Strategy is needed to get to the top. Ask the ones on top today. May God bless this man
